Darksiders Walkthrough & Strategy Guide

You can see the Shard marked on the map just to the southwest of Vulgrim. To get here, switch on your Mask of Shadows and examine the streets. You should see a series of Geysers appear. There's also a chain hook up high between the two building facades you must ascend so keep the Abyssal Chain equipped.

Grab the final Armageddon Blade Shard (Armageddon Blade Shard 7/7) at the top of the southwestern building. You'll now need to return to Ulthane, but there are a few more loose ends to tie up before doing this. Warp to the Scalding Gallow.

Scalding Gallow / Drowned Pass Access Tunnel

First, head out the western exit of the Scalding Gallow. In the Drowned Pass Access tunnel, look for a portal window above the chest marked on your map. You can charge a shot, double-jump and shoot this portal, but it's a bit tricky.

Now, head into the room with the giant fan blades. Float off the blades to the southeast and activate the Abyssal Chain while you fall to snag the hook. Take the geyser up and shoot the window portal on the ceiling to make a path to the chest.

Use the Geyser to blast up through the ceiling portal to the Chest (Drowned Pass Access tunnel 2/2) on the other side to score a Wrath Shard (Wrath Shard 19).

Return to the Scalding Gallow and take the eastern exit to the Choking Grounds Access Tunnel. Look to your right as you enter the tunnel and you should spot a portal window. Shoot it across the pool of lava.

Take the Demonic Growth up and over to the window on the other side of the area. Shoot the window with the Voidwalker and enter it to score a life-restoring item in an Empty Vessel.

Head back to the Scalding Gallow once again and take the northern route to reach the Dry Road Access Tunnel. In the control room, activate the Chronosphere and flip the switch to raise the giant gate. Run under the gate while time is slowed.

On the other side, equip the Voidwalker and shoot the portal window on the gate's rear side. Throw the switch and head back to the control room.

In the control room, shoot the portal window. Flip the switch and, when the gate raises, hop through the portal to get to a tricky Chest (Dry Road Access Tunnel 4/4). Inside is the Death's Blessing Enhancement.

Equip your Scythe with this enhancement to convert damage you inflict on enemies to health, increase Soul gathering and damage! When you are ready, warp to Anvil's Ford.

Anvil's Ford

Warp to Anvil's Ford and examine your map. At the far north end of the Drowned Pass Access Tunnel is a Chest (Drowned Pass Access Tunnel 1/1) with a Wrath Shard (Wrath Shard 20) inside. To get here you'll need to smash some blue crystals with your Tremor Gauntlet. Visit Vulgrim to purchase any remaining Lifestone and Wrath Shards to complete both your Wrath and Health meter! Now head south to Anvil's Ford to re-forge the Armageddon Blade.

Follow the yellow waypoint north to find Ulthane.
